Herons at Qurum.

When the weather gets a little pleasant Qurum beach and Qurum Park(with the artificial lake) are ideal stop-overs for birds.
We were able to get some shots of the Great Blue Herons and Grey Herons.

  12. Great Heron shots Shantana! They're such ungainly birds in flight that makes me wonder how they fly at all!!

    We have Herons in our salt marsh too. Have you seen how big their nests are?
